A Benefit Consulting Organization

     

WHY CHARON PLANNING
Case Studies: Regulatory Compliance

Client: A Mid-Atlantic university

Project Scope: A Charon Planning compliance review revealed that the university's employee handbook promised lifetime benefits despite no provision for extended coverage in the medical plan. High claim liabilities resulted from employees who were Medicare-eligible but had not enrolled due to continuing coverage from the university. Based on Charon Planning's analysis, recommendations and action plan, significant changes were made to the university's policies, drastically reducing their current and future liability.

Results: The resulting reimbursements to the carrier on behalf of the employer exceeded $1,000,000. This directly translated into a reduced medical renewal cost for the employer.

Client: A large multi-state employer

Project Scope: As a result of their failure to take appropriate action under a state healthcare regulation, our client was being needlessly subjected to certain compliance standards and higher statutory surcharges. Charon Planning notified the governing agency, contacted the client's current carriers to ensure accurate submissions going forward, coordinated with the prior carrier to secure the return of excess surcharges and assisted the client with the preparation of reports and documentation that needed to be submitted to the state department of health.

Results: As a result of Charon Planning's discovery and involvement, the client was entitled to a refund of $75,000.
